Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Audrey Borowski, "Leibniz in His World: The Making of a Savant" (Princeton UP, 2026)
Q: What is the 'projector' concept and why is it central to understanding Leibniz and his era?
Borowski defines projectors as entrepreneurs who pitched ambitious schemes to patrons, sometimes failing but often advancing state power or scientific progress; Leibniz's engagement with projectors—including his own later status as a gatekeeper—highlights the era's epistemic and economic experimentation.
Radio ReOrient 14:4: The Coconut Trial with Marieha Hussain, hosted by Fatima Rajina and Stephen Lawrence Research Centre
Q: How did the legal process unfold for you, given the public attention and personal risk?
I sought legal representation, avoided making admissions, and leaned on a defense built around the protective nature of political speech and the context of the protest.
Radio ReOrient 14:4: The Coconut Trial with Marieha Hussain, hosted by Fatima Rajina and Stephen Lawrence Research Centre
Q: What did the placard signify in the protest, and how did you view it at the time?
I saw it as political satire aimed at criticizing politicians, not a statement to incite hate; it was intended to critique policy and rhetoric, not to harm a group.
Kristan Stoddart, "Russia's Hybrid Warfare Offensive Against the West" (de Gruyter, 2025)
Q: Could you describe what you mean by Hybrid Warfare in terms of your book?
Hybrid Warfare is a long-standing, multimodal concept that integrates hard power with soft power tools, including intelligence, espionage, influence operations, and economic and political coercion, aimed at shaping outcomes without relying solely on conventional military force.
Donald Sassoon, "Revolutions: A New History" (Verso Books, 2025)
Q: Are revolutions inevitable, or can reforms prevent them?
The guest argues that reforms can sometimes prevent revolutions by meeting demands, but they can also provoke instability if not implemented inclusively; in many cases, reforms fail to address underlying power structures, making revolutions more likely when organized opposition and clear pathways for change are absent.
